I imagine every person on this forum would be 100% open-minded to serious, credible information that Booth escaped. But when you have people who have studied the assassination professionally and as a hobby for DECADES and have yet to see that serious, credible information, you can't give them a hard time when they approach something like this with skepticism. I believe that if it is ever proved that Booth escaped, it would light this forum up like nothing else. I have no doubt that the skeptics would admit without shame that they were wrong, and everybody here would dive in head first to re-write the history books. Don't blame the skeptics for being skeptical, for having learned their lesson. Blame whoever or whatever failed the skeptic time after time after time.

Thank you, Jonathan, for a very good comment. Despite what some folks here think, we skeptics have benefited from a good deal of serious research into the subject of the mummy that has gone on since the days of Finis Bates first claims.

One thing that this show - and all others that have attempted to tell the mummy story - failed to mention is the physical description of "David E. George, The Mummy." If I am remembering correctly, it was nearly six-feet-tall with blue eyes. And, I believe that description was first given by the undertaker.

I would also like a lesson on whether or not human eyes are mummified. For some reason, I have always thought that the eyes were the first part of the human anatomy to break down after death; but the two photos always submitted of this one show wide-open eyes!

One other thing about the show (you're lucky 'cause I could say more...) was the several references to the mummy being in Pennsylvania in the 1970s. It might have been at some point in its eternal life, but I'm pretty sure that it was residing in Alexandria, Virginia, in the late-70s and early-80s because some of us were in communication with its then-owner -- who later disappeared also.

The Silver Spring, Maryland, owner was the one who invited our former Surratt Society president to view the mummy and flat-out told her it wasn't Booth. Frankly, I thought I would throw up at the ending when that poor, mutilated mummy was shown and had no relation to the story. And then, Indiana Jones (who never changed his clothes) feigned semi-anger and ordered his camera crew to leave. "Robert" must have been paid a good sum to invite this program into his personal sideshow...
